505			_a"The Rainmaker's Dog is a book of transformation and adventure that will take the reader to different parts of the world, using folktales to build vital communication skills. Guided on this journey by characters from the folktales, students will experience the stories and then discuss and write about characters, solutions, new ideas, and their own experiences. This collection of folktales reflects universal human experiences such as friendship, grief, greed, and cleverness. Rich in cultural information, the stories reach across time and place to touch the reader by providing entertainment and conveying messages that are still relevant today. The stories stimulate discussion of important issues, such as human relationships, values, leadership, and problem solving. Not only will students gain reading experience, they will use the content of the stories to go beyond basic skills and will develop the confidence needed to express themselves appropriately and meaningfully." (Preface, p. vii)
